Abstract

After the intense tornado that occurred in Havana on January 27, 2019, it was considered convenient to know what was the energy state of the environment where it occurred. In this case, not only was it considered just the relationship between the buoyancy and inertial forces offered by the Bulk Richardson Number, but also the energy of the system by adapting a diagram already used by previous authors. The energy curves of the system were added to the diagram, which not only allowed locating the tornado that occurred in Havana, but also comparing it with other convective systems that commonly develop on Cuba.
